After twenty-one years of creating, growing and evolving, I’m finding myself at another crossroads. A long-overdue afternoon pruning my backyard reminded me that growth isn’t always about adding more. Sometimes it’s about cutting back, trusting your intuition and making room for whatever is growing [...]
Earlier this year, I opened a handful of Reconstruction appointments in the Bay Area, thinking I’d be thrilled if we booked three or four. We booked nineteen. What felt unbelievable at the time turned out to be the beginning of something much bigger, and it changed the way I think about this work, the stories people [...]
What an honor to be raised by a warrior. We share the same genetics, the same taste for food, the same drive and focus and the same fire (look out, world!). There's no knocking her down and I dare you to even try. Maureen is also known as Ma and now all the grandkids call her Moma. Not only is she quite petite, [...]
Every time I land in San Francisco, something in my body exhales. There’s a light that feels familiar and the smell of eucalyptus and sea water is so grounding.The fog rolling in over Twin Peaks feels like an old friend. It’s cliché to say I left my heart here — but if I’m being honest, I kind of did. CMD was born here [...]
I believe in owning fewer pieces of jewelry and choosing them intentionally. The pieces worth keeping are the ones that feel good on your body, work with your real life and grow more meaningful the longer you wear them. I’m sharing why slow jewelry, thoughtful materials, timeless design [...]
What we say yes to shapes more than a year. It shapes how we spend our time, what we surround ourselves with, and what we make room to become. Eight months after setting her intentions for 2026, Colleen revisits what still matters: choosing quality over quantity, building slowly, making space, and investing [...]
2025 was a year of milestones, new designs, meaningful custom work and more connection than I could have imagined. CMD turned twenty, we celebrated together in Asbury Park, brought The Ring Bar to both coasts, created new collections and gave new life to some extraordinary heirlooms. Looking back, [...]
Twenty years after CMD began at a desk in my tiny San Francisco apartment, we gathered in Asbury Park with family, friends, clients, and members of this incredible community to celebrate everything that came next. There were champagne toasts, stacks of jewelry, surprise visitors, happy tears, [...]
Friends, I’ve been looking through old photos and reminiscing about CMD in the early days. That first leap of faith, saying yes to a tiny studio I wasn’t sure I could afford, taught me something I’ve carried with me ever since: little risks open big doors. What started as a $400-a-month cubicle at Secession Art & Design [...]
Twenty years ago, I had no roadmap, no investors, and no idea where this path would take me. What I did have was a hammer, a torch, a lot of curiosity, and an unstoppable urge to create. Two decades later, CMD has grown from my tiny Hayes Valley apartment into a small-but-mighty jewelry business built by [...]
There are places I love visiting, and then there are places that seem to live somewhere inside me. Northern California has always been the latter. Every trip back brings familiar roads, chosen family, eucalyptus and sea air, but it also reminds me how much life has changed since I first flew West with one suitcase, 400 bucks [...]
Kith & Kin began with a simple truth I’ve learned over and over again: none of us does this alone. Inspired by the people who show up, stay steady and link us back to ourselves, these six designs explore connection through interlocking forms, mixed metals and the invisible bonds between us. Here’s the story [...]
The story of CMD starts long before the first piece of jewelry I ever made. I’m looking back at the women who shaped my work ethic, creativity, independence and approach to business, from my mom and Gram to the strong female leaders I worked for along the way. Their influence is woven into the way I design [...]
As 2024 draws to a close, all of us here at CMD are filled with gratitude and pride for the milestones we've achieved and the community we're growing. This year has been a journey of creativity, connection, and growth, and we owe it all to you. Thank you for all your support now and always. We poured our hearts into [...]
In the summer of 2024, I packed up the van with my trusty co-pilot Migs and drove more than 8,000 miles through 17 states. What began as a cross-country adventure became something much bigger: time to think, reconnect, meet incredible people and find my footing again after a very difficult chapter of my life. [...]
